Stumptown Art Studio Presents: The Whitefish Paint Out & Art Auction
The Paint Out | Saturday, July 13th | 10am-4pm * The Auction | Friday, August 9th | 6-9pm
The Purpose
Stumptown Art Studio Needs to Expand.
On a Yearly Average S.A.S Serves:
2,500-3,000 students via direct arts education
Over 75 artist each year through our gallery and retail space
An average of 10,000 people per year with our clay studio, drop-in pottery painting and fused glass offerings
Plus, multiple public art installations that bring a better community space to over 100,000 residents.
Currently our classroom is located downstairs, this is limiting access to all abilities. We plan to expand and build a classroom extension that will be GROUND LEVEL and become fully ADA accessible while providing more space for our growing art education programs, offer more space for drop-in art opportunities, special community events and more.
The Paint Out
Saturday, July 13th | 10-4pm
You’re invited to join us for a day of live painting around the town of Whitefish, MT on Saturday, July 13th from 10-4pm. Over 20 artists will be painting at various locations during the day, and you are welcomed to visit, watch and be inspired by them! They will be putting their own spin on the classic landscapes and views of Whitefish, everything from the stunning vistas of the Summit House to the classic patio of the Whitefish Lake Golf Course will be captured on canvas. The paintings will then be finished at the artists studios. The next viewing of the completed work will be during our Art Auction & Fundraiser, when all paintings will be for sale, via silent auction bidding on Friday, August 9th at the O’Shaughnessy Cultural Arts Center, in downtown Whitefish.
